Don't paint it, just buy some bell bottoms and ride man! The paint is damaged from the "Caswell Experience". Not gonna be ridden that way.

This is what the Tracy looked like on my Mongrel frame before it was converted: I think I'll add this, just to mix it up a little: Along with the front end and wheels off a zrx... I think it'll be kinda unique, kinda cool. Provided it holds fuel with out leaking, the body will get a complete re-paint. For sure it'll be "green". I'm not sure about much more than that. Maybe some dirty big metal-flake green... Possibly a swirling green, black, white, yellow combination like the retro one that's there now... Still thinking and keeping my eyes peeled for the "right" look. That looks really cool. Nice wheels and such I wouldn't touch it.. I really like that just how it is!

I really like round swingers, goes with the vintage.... Ya, agreed. I really liked the look of Sam's race bike at Mid-Ohio this year. He has the same swinger on it. Looks like it belongs. The only thing with the older street bikes is the MUCH wider wheel and tire on the back. That's gonna look a little less than "period correct"!! You know me though... I'm ok wit dat!

That looks really cool. Nice wheels and such I wouldn't touch it.. I really like that just how it is! I agree, however these wheels are already in use on the "Drewski/Seaglider Project". Although this one starts with a "fresh slate", it's definitely a "parts bin special". I'm using all the collected bits on it.

Never really found out exactly who manufactured this body as no manufactures marking were ever found on it but it does really look like a Tracy, The small whale tail closely resembles the 72 h2/s2. RB donated the factory decals that seem to flow nicely on the body. I think they are cool !!

Hey ! It was great seeing you at Milton! Loved hearing the story about your frame build and the "marked" tooling....very cool !! They are hydroformed pipes, I believe they were from a GT360, not sure of the make but had to "work" them to get them to fit. Cheers

Those pipes look like Factory Pipe Products (FPP).
